Headaches and Myotherapy

Headaches can be caused by various factors, including muscle tension and tightness in the neck and shoulders. In this blog, Tom - The Manx Myotherapist talks about how Myotherapy can help those suffering from headaches.

Myotherapy, a form of manual therapy, can be an effective treatment option for relieving headaches.


Myotherapy involves the assessment, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It focuses on targeting the trigger points or knots in the muscles that may be causing pain or discomfort. By focusing and applying pressure using specific manual therapy techniques, Tom can target the trigger points responsible for the pain.

When it comes to headaches, Myotherapy can help by addressing the muscle imbalances and tension that may be contributing to the pain. Tom at The Manx Myotherapist is highly trained having studied a Bachelor of Clinical Myotherapy in Melbourne. Other modalities such as dry needling can help in reducing the symptoms associated with headaches.

Myotherapy can also help with headache prevention. By identifying and treating the underlying muscle imbalances, Myotherapists can help reduce the frequency and severity of future headaches.

It is important to note that headaches can have various causes, and myotherapy may not be suitable for all types of headaches. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or myotherapist, to determine the underlying cause of your headaches and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

In conclusion, Myotherapy can be an effective treatment option for relieving headaches caused by muscle tension and tightness. By targeting the trigger points and releasing muscle tension, Myotherapists can help reduce pain and improve overall well-being. However, it is important to seek professional advice to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
